Product Design Engineering Intern - HP IQ

About The Role

As a Product Design Engineering Intern at HP IQ, you'll work at the intersection of creativity, engineering, and design to help develop groundbreaking devices that redefine how people interact with technology. You'll collaborate with industrial designers, hardware engineers, and interaction designers to transform ideas into functional prototypes and production-ready components. From 3D CAD modeling to hands‑on prototyping, you'll play a key role in exploring concepts, solving complex engineering challenges, and iterating designs until they're ready for the real world.

This is a hands‑on opportunity to learn from a world‑class team and contribute to products that push the boundaries of what's possible.
